TODAY'S
PHOTO -
an off-the-plant, turned-color, sea grape leaf
on the beach in Delray.
Since we went to the beach yesterday in Picture
to Ponder, I decided to go back again today. I revisited
the photos I took a couple of months ago during
a high tide walk on the same beach.
This leaf photo immediately grabbed my attention,
I think, because of its vibrant color and the simplicity
and serenity of the scene. On the other hand, this
leaf while technically is past its prime, looks
as if it's ready to take off and accomplish great
stuff.
For those of you who like to look for images in
Picture to Ponder photos, I definitely see at least
two faces.
Lastly, in retracing my steps on my "virtual"
beach walk this morning, I saw the photo that I
reduced and tucked into the upper left corner above.
Not a particularly exciting photo, I did see it
as a perfect segue into our queries and thus included
it here.
SELF-REFLECTING
QUERIES -
Reflecting on the frothy photo - When you see something
that is misted over or unclear, either visually
or in your mind, do you ignore it, pass it by or
wait for it to clear? Can you recall a time when
you did wait and then discovered unexpected beauty
underneath?
Actually in the photo example today, I was undoubtedly
photographing the bubbles, not even thinking about
what was under them.
How often do we miss the hidden beauty in our lives
because we see all that we think there is to see
and then quickly move on past whatever it was?
AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Have you yet checked out the 28 second message from
Sondra,
who shares the impact on her life of a custom photo/drawing
of her father done by me?
Have you listened to Judith Tramayne-Barth and Renee
Kleckner on our AUDIO
LINKS page, where Judith also describes how easy
it is to record a message? I'd love to have your voice
there also. A sentence or two is more than enough,
if you are person of a few words.
I will publish the link for yours in Picture to Ponder
and on the testimonial
page on the eteletours site. You can call in yourself
